The Raptors didn't have Kawhi Leonard on Sunday but still probably didn't expect to lose to the Magic.

Orlando claimed a 113-98 victory in Toronto and benefited from a surprising offensive performance from Terrence Ross. The 28-year-old wing totaled 28 points and nine rebounds off the bench to lead all scorers. Nikola Vucevic chipped in 23 points and 12 rebounds.
